“Hello? Miss Xia? Do you want to leave a message? When Commander finishes the meeting . I will tell him . ” Hearing no response from Xia Ning, Mei Ruo asks again .
“Oh…No . It is OK . Bye . ” Xia Ning hangs up .
“What’s up?” Li Baoer finds that Xia Ning looks uneasy . She is worried, “What’s wrong in the phone?”
Xia Ning hesitates but at once smiles, “No . Nothing . It is just that Rui is too busy and has not had lunch till now . Come on . Let’s have a taste . ”
Saying this, Xia Ning pours the foods in front of her into the hot pot .
Xia Ning puts on a smile on her face, but she is jealous in her heart . In the past, Political Commissar Xue had never answered Yi Yunrui’s phone . Isn’t only Feng Le supposed to answer the phone for him?
After the meeting, Yi Yunrui looks tired . He glances at the clock and wants to take out his phone . But he remembers that he gave it to Feng Le before the meeting .
At the time, Mei Ruo hands a cup of warm tea to him, “The meeting last for a whole morning till now . Are you tired?”
Yi Yunrui nods, but he doesn’t reach to take the tea . Mei Ruo’s smile lightly freezes . She puts down the tea by his side .
“Where is Feng?” Yi Yunrui asks .
“Oh . I asked him to go out . ”
Yi Yunrui frowns, “Tell him to come in . He takes my phone with him . ”
“Your phone is here with me . ” Mei Ruo smiles and takes out the phone .

Yi Yunrui is surprised, “Why is my phone here?”
“I am your Political Commissar . Isn’t it a part of my job？”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes darken, “You don’t need to bother with it from now on . Let Feng do it . ”
Saying this, Yi Yunrui takes the phone and opens to check it . He frowns more seriously, “Did you answer the call from Ning?”
“Hum . ” Mei Ruo nods, “She called just now . I asked her to leave a message . She did not . ”
Yi Yunrui’s eyes get cold, “Let Feng answer the phone for me in the future . ”
“Rui, did I do something wrong? Isn’t this my job as in the past?” Thinking of her privilege in the past, Mei Ruo is upset and anxious .
Yi Yunrui looks at her for a while, “Past is past . Now is now . Political Commissar Mei, I hope you can understand . ”
“I don’t think there is any difference . ” Mei Ruo curls her lips, “I went abroad for a year . I am back and I am still your Political Commissar . ”
“There are many opportunities abroad and in Beijing . Why do you come back to C city?”
Mei Ruo softens her face and looks at Yi Yunrui more gently, “You know why I come back . ”
“I don’t know . ” Yi Yunrui turns his face and answers quickly .

Mei Ruo widens her eyes . She is a little angry, “Rui, you said it . You will wait for my coming back . I am back now . Aren’t you happy?”
Yi Yunrui frowns, “I have never promised anything to you . Whether you would like to stay in Beijing, abroad or in C city is completely up to you . And there is another point I hope you can keep in mind . I am married . ”
Unexpecting Yi Yunrui will speak so heartlessly, Mei Ruo is shocked . A little while later, she smiles faintly, “Rui, you have changed…”
Mei Ruo looks sad . Yi Yunrui is bored . He stands up and wants to go out of the office . Just after he takes several steps, he hears Mei Ruo say, “Rui, Miss Xia is pretty . She looks a little like me . ”
Yi Yunrui glances at her coldly and turns to leave .
Looking at Yi Yunrui go away hurriedly, Mei Ruo smiles and lifts the corner of her lips .
Rui, your words don’t follow your heart . You obviously still love me . Why don’t you admit it?
Married? Well, how long can a marriage without true love last?
Let’s wait and see . One day, you will come back to me .
I have got plenty of time!
…
They are still eating while Xia Ning’s phone rings . It is from Yi Yunrui . Xia Ning presses the button at once, “Rui . Are you free now? Have you had lunch?”

Yi Yunrui smiles at the other end, “Hum . I am free now . I will have another meeting this afternoon . I am going to have lunch now . What about you? Are you eating?”
“Hum . Colonel Dai recommends a nice hot pot restaurant . We are having hot pot now . ”
“Good . ” When does Dai Zhongheng become a gourmet? “Then you may have more . Well, what did you call me for?”
Xia Ning’s heart tightens . She shakes her head, “Nothing . I just called to check if you had your lunch . Ha…”
“I will let Feng keep my phone in the future . When you call me, I will answer the phone as long as I can . ”
As if he understands what she thinks, Yi Yunrui explains at the other end . Xia Ning feels warm, “It is OK . You may go to work . I don’t have any important things, but some trivial stuff . That’s what women do…”
“I like that . It was often me who did the trivial stuff at home . Were you bored by me?”
Xia Ning feels better . She says shyly, “Rui, there are some other people here…this topic…”
“OK . I will come home earlier this evening and go with you to Commissar Mei’s house to have dumplings . I will call you then . ”
“Aren’t you going to pick me up with Commissar Mei?”
“No . I will go with you . ”
Warm in her heart, Xia Ning says, “OK . We go together . ”
“Have you settled the things for your friend?”
“Yes . ” Xia Ning is aware that everyone is looking at her . She is shy, “Rui, I will talk to you later . I may hang up now . ”
“Hum . Have fun . ”
Xia Ning responds and hangs up .
“Wow . Is this the love show? Mrs . Army Commander, would you please tell me your skill of training your husband? It is really enviable . ” Li Baoer teases her .
Xia Ning gives her a push, “What skill of training husband? You gossipy girl, have your lunch . ”
“Wow, are you afraid that someone will snatch him from you or what? You keep it secretly! Ning, when did you learn it?”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes at her . She blinks her eyes, “Yes, I keep it as a secret and will not tell you . If you are not happy with that, why don’t you find your husband and show off love in front of me?”
Unexpectedly, Xia Ning makes a countercharge . Li Baoer widens her eyes . She stutters and at last snorts, “Good girls won’t fight against the bad ones! I will change the bitterness into appetite . I will eat more and spend all your money . ”
Saying this, Li Baoer puts a big piece of beef into her mouth .
Xia Ning smiles . She takes a secret glance at Dai Zhongheng and finds that he eats quietly, but he glances at Li Baoer from time to time . He takes quick moves, but is still caught by Xia Ning .
She wonders how it is going on between the two . As regard to romance, Dai Zhongheng is more introverted than Yi Yunrui . He stays at the Military Region all day long . If the relationship is not confirmed soon, she doesn’t know when she can catch Dai Zhongheng around again . After all, as the leader of “Falcon”, he is not always available .
If someone is needed to give it a push, though reluctantly, she will take the job of matchmaker .
